Omega has always
been driven by a pioneering spirit; in fact, no watch company in the
world holds more records for accuracy. Their watches have been the
timepiece of choice for some of history’s greatest explorers—from
deep-sea divers to astronauts.
This handsome Seamaster celebrates the
legacy of a unique Omega timepiece going back to 1957: the Railmaster,
which was built specifically for railroad employees or others who found
themselves working near electrical fields. True to that spirit, today’s
Railmaster timepieces are still resistant to magnetic fields of 15,000
gauss.
Other unique railroad features here can be found in the denim / leather strap with pin buckle and brushed “blue jeans” dial.
Its stainless steel case measures 40 mm
in diameter and sports a screw-down winding crown, 150 m / 15 atm water
resistance, and domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
As a self-winding automatic timepiece
and master chronometer, it delivers certified accuracy that you can
depend upon, as well as a 55-hour power reserve. It is driven by the
Omega co-axial 8806 caliber.
Brushed stainless steel hands and
recessed hour markers are filled with light grey SuperLuminova for easy
viewing in low light. In addition, there is also an attractive beige
center seconds hand. The “blue jeans” dial is clean in design and offers
Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 as well as a minute track and hour
markers designed to draw the eye inward.
From its historic celebration of
Railmaster timepieces to its superior construction as a co-axial master
chronometer, we are confident that this Omega timepiece will make a
superb addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Master chronometer accuracy;
resistant to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss; unique blue jeans-like
dial and denim strap in celebration of historic Omega Railmaster
timepieces.
